iRacing?

Bill I think you'd really like the AI content. With each update they add a more cars/tracks to use, however NASCAR options are limited; at the moment it's just the Cup car, and the only oval tracks are Daytona and Talladega. I just read the Season 2 build notes and this is still the case. Though if you like road course racing there are a number tracks you can unleash the Cup cars at.
I had plans to re-sub if more oval tracks were included but, since there aren't, now I'm not sure what to do. I've been painting a lot of iRacing cars with the hope that I was re-subbing...

Membership gets you access to the site and all of the included "free" content. The 3 Cup cars and both oval tracks that are currently enabled for AI will have to be purchased separately.
I realize your bubble might be burst but here are the car and track links. Look for the green banner that says "INCLUDED" to see what you get with a basic membership.

Iracing is worth the money, if you have it to spare and plan to race on-line 3 or more times a week.
ok Can't find this on iRacing website or in forum, How much does each track cost and cars to upgrade, and to make it to cup, how much would it cost just to get to that level? I did try iRacing a few years ago for like $10 for 3 months and didn't know you had to start in a lower class and move up and spend money, ireally only wanted to run cup not the other series to move up, loved how the game played and graphics, but did not renew and sink money into it, a buddy of mine who races put 1,000 into it and enough of this money pit and quit.
Thanks

Looking at this link it seems any new car costs $12 and any new track will cost $12-$15.
The game looks alright but I'd never rent a game no matter how great it seems. Plus modding is a pretty big deal to me before I invest any energy into a game.
Tracks are $11.95 or $14.95 and cars are $11.95
You go from Street stock -> K&N -> Trucks -> Xfinity -> Cup so in total for that about 50 bucks and some of the same tracks are used in the K&N Trucks, xfinity, and Cup, just plan it out by the season before buying and get everything in bulks so you can get a 15% discount.
also what he posted, for the free content, you do get about 15? cars and around 15 or so tracks with different layouts.
Don't buy it though steam, get it directly from their site, and they will give you a steam key that you can use for it, but other then that, DON'T GET IT FROM STEAM!
Thanks everyone , and noticed on my G27 the lights light up and in NR2003 they don't ? that was a few years ago, but i probably won't buy and keep sinking more money into it. having to buy another 25 - 30 cars for a full field, thats a chunk of change plus buying tracks? this must be a millionaires game and not for the average person?
I pretty much planned out everything before I bought, and do to Cup, Xfinity, or trucks, you only need one of the cars not all three, and some tracks are used in all of the series in the same season, you just have to see the schedule before hand.
I'd say it depends on your personal perspective and opinion. If this is the only racing game you play or if you bought into the marketing wank about it being the only worthwhile race sim endorsed by all the pros. Then you could justify the upfront and continuing costs. But you kind of have to have a bit of that invested brand loyalty to keep putting money into it.
yea i have been playing racing sims from Bill Elliott's PC game before Papyrus came out and each version since then, tried iRacing for the 9.99 3 month a few years ago but didn't know about the way it worked and quit and didn't want to pour money into so i played a few other racing games but didn't race the same so just stuck with NR2003. so i just started this thread cause iRacing never responded back on cost, but did respond wanting me to join and how. so hid the cost on moving up to cup, so probably keep playing NR2003. and appreciate all the hard work everyone puts into this game to keep it up to date and love the older mods i grew up with.
Thanks
@alfiejay Are you looking to race with humans or with AI? I was going to respond to a question you asked but got confused myself
There's no need to reply if you're no longer considering iRacing, I just wanted to assist in clearing some of the confusion I read of on the forum when it comes to this sim in particular. I've been on/off a few times with iRacing since 2008 (if I remember that year right) so I've seen a bunch.

Yea i race other people and frustrated with idiots wrecking you on purpose, but raced different to dodge them, and started moving up during the 3 months i did it, didn't know you could just run with AI like NR2003 offers. but it just came down to pouring more money into it i didnt know about it upfront and didn't do research before and just saw a new racing game for 10 bucks for 3 months and wanted to try it, not knowing how it works, really liked how it played and graphics but money money money to upgrade to get cars and tracks, so i just quit, but thought about trying it again for 15 bucks for three months but how much would it roughly cost to get to cup level cause iRacing dodged that question and wouldn't tell me what it would cost to upgrade, but here i found the question, all iRacing staff told me was i had to start at a lower level and move up but would not tell me the cost, that's pretty low of them on customer service, get your 15 bucks then have to find out need to spend more money, and all of the hype now to join iRacing but they won''t tell pricing to get to the cup level which most people only want to run and possibly can't afford to keep pouring money into it.
Thanks
